Zusammenfassung:An integrally bladed rotor has an outer rim with a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly of the outer rim. A plurality of channels are formed radially inwardly of the outer rim. A discontinuity formed at a radially outer surface of the outer rim includes a first thin slot at a radially outer face of the outer rim with an enlarged seal holding area. A second thin slot is positioned radially inwardly of the seal holding. The first and second thin slots are thinner circumferentially than the enlarged seal holding area. A seal is inserted into the seal holding area. The seal does not extend into the first and second thin slots, nor into the channels.
